About this house rental
Mills River Retreat is a Hike, Bike, and Brewery base camp nestled perfectly between Asheville, Hendersonville, and Brevard, NC! We are minutes from Asheville Regional Airport and Sierra Nevada Brewery. It’s the perfect location for day trips to Biltmore and Downtown Asheville, hiking in Pisgah National Forest, brewery and winery hopping, and so much more! There’s a road bike route that passes right in front of the house, and world class mountain biking is minutes away. Mills River Retreat sleeps 6-or 8 with the pull out sofa located in the upstairs Master den.
We love dogs! 🤍🐶🤍 2 dogs maximum are welcome with pre approval and a non refundable pet fee of $100. The backyard is fenced with a large grassy area to play (but not guaranteed to be escape proof-please keep an eye on your pets and children at all times.) Always pick up after your pups, and please notify us immediately if there are any accidents or damage 🤍
The open concept living/kitchen/dining area is the perfect place to gather. A locally made farmhouse table has seating for 8, and there’s a game table, home bar, and two of the comfiest leather sofas ever for lounging. An electric fireplace just below the large screen Smart TV provides the perfect cozy ambiance. The kitchen is well appointed and is open to the living and dining rooms. It has stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, huge farmhouse sink, and is well stocked with cooking pots, pans, utensils, and starter spices. Begin your morning with fresh brewed coffee from the Coffee Bar! It is set up with whole bean coffee and grinder, or pods if you prefer the Keurig. Creamer and sweetener are also provided.
The entire upstairs is a spacious master suite with a beautifully tiled master bath and walk in shower. The master has a King bed and large walk in closet. A separate den upstairs has a Queen sleeper sofa. Downstairs has two bedrooms, one Queen room and second room with two Twins. There are smart TVs in each bedroom, living room, and den with Samsung TV and high speed internet to enjoy your favorite streaming apps. Green tea cooling memory foam mattresses and premium bedding make each room its own cozy private retreat. The bathroom downstairs has a tub/shower combo and is in the hall between the two rooms.
You are welcome to use the washer and dryer located in the detached garage. The garage can also be used to store your gear during your stay, but do not park vehicles inside the garage. There is an owner’s apartment located on the far side of the detached garage. This unit is a completely separate living space and is rarely used. We will let you know if we will be occupying it during your stay. The apartment and firepit located on the far side of the property are off limits to guests.
There are keypad locks on the garage and side entry door on the driveway side (just look for the Welcome sign). We have a no contact check in and your key code will be sent to you prior to check in.
We have put a lot of love and thought into creating a comfortable mountain retreat and gathering place. We hope you enjoy making memories here with family and friends!

This was a great place to stay for a quick work trip. Had everything we needed and was close to work. We would stay here again.

Enjoyed our overall stay. We were less then 10 mins awa from every place we needed or wanted to go.
Home was very clean, comfortable and nicely laid out.. and thank gosh for that, as the weather was horrible for most of our time there. Loved seeing the you deer playing in the field behind the home when having our coffees.
Would stay there again for sure if traveling in that area.

We absolutely loved this home! There has been a great deal of time and thought put into making this a very comfortable place to stay. Very pet friendly! Comfortable furniture and a great master space upstairs. Close to lots of things to do and very peaceful! Would highly recommend!

Excellent property. Great communication. About 30 minutes from downtown Ashville and 1 hour from skiing in Cataloochee. Highly recommend

The photos do not reflect the uniqueness and charm of this home. The place was situated in a quiet country environment conveniently located between Asheville and Hendersonville allowing us to partake in what they had to offer. The master bedroom and walkin shower on the second floor offered a wonderful area to retreat and relax from a day filled with outdoor activities with a wonderful mountain view. The house was clean with modern appliances throughout and an appropriately apportioned kitchen.
We would highly recommend the Mills River Retreat to anyone wanting to stay in a wonderful home away from home.
4.9
Had a wonderful time in this beautiful home. Our dogs had a nice fenced in yard and the house had everything that you could want and more.
Easy drive to the grocery store, dog park, Bold Rock Cidery.
Highly recommend!

We loved our stay here! It was a great location and a comfortable house for 3 young kids and 4 adults. We would definitely go back and bring a dog next time!
4.9
The home itself is ADORABLE. It has so much to offer/places to sleep and it easily accommodated our big party. We had 4 adults and 4 kids (6, 3, 2 & 1). It was even nice to have available high chair and pack and play for all the littles! I will say the busy street it is on and the cement floor in the living room made for some high stakes little kid play but we still LOVED this home and would book it again if we needed that much space.
Beds are comfy, home is very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with spices and SHARP KNIVES! (which in a rental is next to impossible haha).
This is a great place to stay for a weekend getaway for adults or adults with kids.
4.9
More than enough room for family of 5 with all the comforts of home. Great location with short drive to anything you'd want to experience around Asheville. Would stay again.

Cute property. Well thought out, clean, fully equipped for an easy and comfortable stay!

The house was beautiful with all the amenities we needed. Not too far from breweries and Hendersonville…can’t wait to come back!
4.9
Excellent property for our purposes. Very easy access to the fenced backyard for the pets. The property is an interesting mix of old and new. The addition to an existing older cape cod style home was done very well. Placed just outside of the busy business corridors it felt like we were in the country. Five minutes to the grocery store and easy access to Asheville and Hendersonville. The owners were always responsive. We had a small change in our schedule and they accommodated it well.

Clean, well appointed and very convenient! It was perfect for two families with young kids! We had a great weekend at Mills River Retreat!

The owner made the booking/check in process so easy! The house is located about 5-10 minutes from a great brewery. With traffic the Map put the Biltmore 40 minutes from the house. The house is secluded and private which is a plus for us since we brought our pup along. The attention to detail was such an awesome plus. The owners provide soap, shampoo, hand soap, spices, coffee, creamer, filters, coffee beans with a grinder, dog toys, dog bowls, etc. the furnishings were so nice with the throw pillows and blankets. Wow! They thought of everything to make our stay special. Our king size bed upstairs was SO comfy. The curtains filter out the light so it was perfect for our sleeping baby. I did miss in the listing that they do not have central heat and air but once we figured out the heat units and fireplace it kept our place so warm. The ONLY thing I would have to suggest is curtains on the doors and windows that face the owners apartment. It was a bit eerie at night with the lights on knowing people could see into the house. We frequent the area often to antique shop and we will be staying again!

Three generations and one dog had the most amazing stay at this VRBO. Even my nine year old daughter kept saying what a nice place it was even after we’d gotten home. The VRBO is perfectly appointed with guests in mind. The house was super clean, the beds were very comfortable, the cooling/heating units were easy to use, and the kitchen was stocked. We LOVED that they had a Christmas tree and some decor to keep our Christmas spirit up even while away from home. Welcome and exit instructions were easy to follow and thorough. Host was extremely communicative. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Couldn’t have asked for a better, more accommodating place to stay. Heather was very responsive and answered any questions we had. Will definitely book again when in the area.

We loved our stay! It was in the perfect location for us. Easy access to nature and city.

We are from Raleigh, NC and met halfway with friends from Nashville, TN…this was the perfect halfway point! We enjoyed the cozy, clean house very much. We had two toddlers with us, and the only thing I would recommend is to bring a baby gate for the stairs. Contacting the host was effortless, and the the checkout process was a breeze. We would definitely stay here again.

Very nice spacious home. Loaded coffee bar, nice backyard area, super clean and great WiFi. Thank you!

Nice experience and comfortable house. Owner prompt communication great. Had plenty of items in house and good coffee on hand with a coffee bar. Only issue for me was super hard mattress but my wife liked since she had bad hip.
4.9
This cozy, comfortable home has all the amenities you would ever want. Everything is new, clean and tidy. Kitchen is well equipped with sharp knives, a wide array of spices, and a coffee bar with both Kerig and drip brew, beans and grinder.
The beds are firm yet comfortable. The living room is cozy with overstuffed couches to curl up on to watch flat screen TV.
Very dog friendly...toys, food and water bowls, toys, leash...but best of all fully fenced back yard.
Wonderful place.

We were in the area for a wedding and really enjoyed the style, cleanliness and location of this place! Will definitely be back!

Mills River Retreat had a very homey and cozy feel the minute we walked in the door. It was a very nice combination of rustic and modern. The furniture and beds were all very comfortable, kitchen well stocked, and a nice fenced in yard for our dog. Great location.

Came to town for a baseball tournament. Shared this house with another family. It was perfect for us. The owners were great, responded to all questions quickly and clearly. Check in was a breeze and check out was simple and very renter friendly. Would 100% recommend.

This house is so cute, very clean and had everything we needed! It’s minutes from Sierra Nevada and the grocery store which is also a plus. We can’t wait to stay here again!

This place was PERFECT for my siblings and I to stay all together for our youngest brothers wedding. The layout and coziness was just what we needed to visit for the first time in a long time and to get ready. Heather is SUPER accommodating and was helpful with local recommendations on places to eat. The kitchen had everything we could have possibly needed to cook, bedrooms and bathrooms were tidy and comfortable. My brother and sister brought their dogs — it’s very dog friendly and everyone had a great time. STAY HERE!

Extremely convenient location, you can branch out to all the surrounding towns in minutes. The hosts were great to deal with, great communication!

This was the perfect place to escape for a few days and enjoy nature and some beautiful hikes. There is plenty to do in the area and you’re a short drive into Asheville if you want to explore there as well. The home was clean and just as advertised. The home had everything we needed and then some. Our dog loved the area! Being able to bring him was a huge plus. We will be back for sure!
4.9
Spacious, well stocked kitchen utensils and items for cooking and cleaning up, well stocked with paper towels and toilet tissue. Wonderful coffee bar area. If possible, do not shut the bathroom door upstairs while taking a shower. There is a beautiful view out the window, if you are able to leave the door open. Lovely field out back, full of fireflies. Nice outdoor space for sitting and nice spot to hang an eno. Wifi worked perfectly. Very nice Ingles grocery store minutes away. Only way to improve it would be a charcoal grill. It was a wonderful stay. We would love to return.

We picked up my 14 year old from camp and spent some time in the area. The house was perfect! We all loved it! Easy to get to Asheville and all the outdoor activities nearby. The host gave excellent recommendations about food and activities. The house really was as advertised. So charming and comfortable after a long day out hiking. Everyone said we should come back again. We had a wonderful time and would recommend it!

What a find this one was! Our family of five was looking for a place around the Asheville/Hendersonville area and stumbled across this home near Mills River. It was everything we were looking for and more! It has that secluded feel even though there are neighbors nearby. Every bedroom (and even the upstairs loft area) has a smart tv that really helped keep the kids entertained in the downtime. The beds were all comfortable and the way the climate control is setup works wonderfully. The sounds of nature as you sit on the front or (especially) the back porch is very relaxing. If you are looking for a place around this area, we encourage you to give this place a shot. You won't be disappointed!
